GIVE AND TAKE
A South African newspaper hears that much badinage by wireless passes between English officers at Luderitzbucht and the German officers at Windhuk. The other day, so the story runs, the O. C. German troops at Windhuk wirelessed down to a certain prominent officer:
“Stop your men playing football and teach them to drill instead; Kolmanskop will make a good parade ground.”
That night a reconnoitering party went out to Kolmanskop and killed four Germans and wounded another. Colonel Blank thereupon wirelessed to Windhuk:
“Took your advice; scored four goals and a try.”
